And there we are again... A new Longhorn Release!
The Network doesn`t seem to fuck up anymore , but
the Sidebar is still leggy and buggy.
To install this Version of Longhorn set your date back to
October 23rd BEFORE you install it to get rid of the activation
window after the install. You get 59 days until you must activate
but by the time that happens we will have a crack for it or a newer
build available.

Longhorn build 4053, You could call it a late bloomer. But we'll just call it trash
we didn't see fit to release. 4053 is a near identical build to the previous 4051.
In light of recent developments though, an unnamed source releasing 4053, winbeta
has decided to release the REAL version. Untouched for your enjoyment. Beware of
imitators, and don't settle for something that uses files from completely
different operating systems in an attempt to crack something that you won't use for
more than a week.
- What is different from this build to the afore mentioned release?
- PIDGEN.DLL and SETUPP.INI were from windows 2003.
- EULA and README.HTM were tagged by children. (its actually rather funny, see
bottom of nfo for details.)
- What is the same?
- You are still required to set your date back to 10/23/03. It appears that this
build has a draconian time limit. Not intended for public consumption.
BUYER BEWARE: Longhorn is trash right now. Don't be fooled by the hype, it is not
suitable for any primary operating system duty. Install at your leisure, but don't
expect much. And don't ask for an activation crack. Why crack something to give
coding tips early in the game while the core coders are still on the clock?
PDC 2003 is being widely heralded by the development community as a "must-attend"
event for enterprise developers, software architects, software engineers, Web
developers, and Web development managers wanting to stay in sync with Microsoft's
platform roadmap.
Be one of the first to look under the hood of "Longhorn."
"Longhorn" is the code name for the next major release of Microsoft Windows® and
the innovation runs deep. At PDC 2003, you can be the first to get information on
how to build your applications to take advantage of "Longhorn," and be ready for
the future.
Get up to speed on the next-generation database capabilities of "Yukon." With deep
XML support and Common Language Runtime integration, the next release of Microsoft
SQL Server, code named "Yukon," will take programmability, scalability,
availability,and business intelligence to the next level.
Experience the future of application development with Visual Studio "Whidbey."
Extend your power and productivity with upcoming versions of Microsoft Visual
Studio®. Unleash the power of advanced Web services, harness business processes,
and transform database programming with "Yukon." See the latest innovation in
Visual C#®, Visual C++®, Visual Basic®, and other programming languages.
Take Web services to the next level with Microsoft .NET connected software. Web
services have become the industry choice for connecting systems. At PDC 2003,
you'll see where Web services are going next, with new capabilities, advanced
infrastructure tools, and new opportunities.
Get early code
PDC attendees have always been the first to get developer previews of important
future products. The tradition continues with PDC 2003—get early, and in some cases,
exclusive code for Windows "Longhorn," SQL Server "Yukon," Visual Studio "Whidbey,"
and other technologies.
A great value.
Your PDC 2003 ID gets you into a keynote address on the next generation of computing
from Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates, as well as break-out sessions,
exclusive parties, interactive labs, a full-service food court, and much, much more.

Windows Longhorn Build 4053 is a Milestone 7 build of the Microsoft Windows «Longhorn» operating system. The build is reported to have leaked on 2004-03-01.
Minimum system requires include a 500Mhz Pentium 3 processor, and 256 MB of RAM. WinFS is included with this build.
Networking support has been improved from 4051, and issues with icons have been fixed.
Issues[]
- The normal method of creating user accounts does not work in this build. However, accounts can still be created with the control userpasswords2 command.
- The History feature of Internet Explorer does not work.

A Quick Look at Longhorn Build 4053 — Page 1
Posted by Team Flexbeta on 05 March 2004 (34135 views) Rating: 4.64
Even though the next generation Windows product is not due until late 2005 or even 2006, we wanted to take a look at what Microsoft has in store for us. We take a quick look at the recently leaked Longhorn Build 4053.
For those of you that are lucky enough to have snagged a copy, remember this, Build 4053 is still a baby, not even in Beta stage yet, so we will not go in depth into subjects such as the theme, sidebar, etc.
The installation wizard has improved greatly from past installers that Windows 2000 and XP had. No more will we see the plain DOS like setup screen, its all graphical now with minimal questions during the installation process, which, has its good and its bad. For a home user upgrading to Longhorn, the installation is a breeze, start the setup, enter the key and go take a nap, by the time you wake up it will be done. If the setup continues on this path towards final release, then the use of an answer file will be necessary to alleviate any post installation changes, especially for a network administrator implementing a company wide roll out, but Microsoft has always provided excellent administrator tools for this very reason. The installation did take an awfully long time, especially during the «Hardware Detection» phase, but I’m sure that this will be improved upon in the months to come.
Even though the initial startup is extremely fast, once logged in the system crawls along, taking a seemingly endless amount of time to get everything up and running. This too will definitely improve over development time.
The layout is clean and clutter free. Minimal icons are presented on the desktop, which is one of my pet peeves; I go to great lengths to maintain an icon-less desktop. The sidebar is definitely going to have its share of protestors, me being one of them. To me, no matter what is docked on the sidebar in the final release, it is a huge waste of space and system resources that a vast majority of users will just turn off. There will be more applets applied to it in the end, search bars, link bars, etc, so as the sidebar comes of age, we will examine it once again.
Without a vast amount of tweaking, this build is a resource hog. At idle, with no applications running, the commit charge is at a whopping 483 MB!! Obviously, the final release or even the beta releases will not consume this much of the system resources. My test system is an Intel Pentium 4 2.4Ghz with 512 MB of RAM, so it is still running at a good pace, but anything less than this makes the system crawl along at an insanely annoying pace. When the final build is released, the recommended system requirements will be roughly the same as Windows XP, but as anyone that has tried to run XP with multiple users will testify, simply having the recommended requirements is just not enough.
At this point in time, build 4053 is basically Windows XP with a different theme, even though some new technologies are being created and there are dribs and drabs of them in this build. Build 4053 is still a lot different from previous builds where some of the new technologies Microsoft is working on were clearly integrated, such as the Hardware Carousel, WinFS, etc, in this build like Build 4051 (PDC) they are absent or implemented at a minimum.
There are very visible bugs at this stage, but it seems that some of the major pains that plagued previous builds have been worked on or corrected. The infamous Internet Explorer memory leak seems to have disappeared, and that was a huge memory leak, but as I sit here writing this, the commit charge is growing and growing, so there are still memory leaks in some processes and/or services that are running.
Some features previewed in previous builds have been developed to a greater extent such as Contacts, Photos and Videos. The layout and orientation of the windows has been vastly improved. All links and graphical elements have been fine tuned

A day of screenshots today here at Neowin. First we had Office 2003 SP1 shots and now a new build of Longhorn. The build (4053) has no main changes from the PDC build (4051) and still sports the «Slate» visual style. The development of Longhorn is at build 406x at the moment, the precise build number differs depending on what build lab you speak to. As the 4053 screenshots show below, this is only a main build (a build compiled from all the different labs). Unfortunately for us the shots don’t show any big changes or improvements from the 4051 build a mere 21 days before it. The build stamp for all those interested is Build 4053.main.031022-1720.
